Has another rough outing Lyles gave up eight runs (six earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five innings against Baltimore on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact About the only thing that went right for Lyles on Thursday was that opposing starter Grayson Rodriguez struggled just as badly, allowing Lyles to escape a loss. The right-hander gave up all eight of his runs over the first three innings, with half of the tallies coming on a pair of two-run homers. Lyles has surrendered 13 earned runs across nine innings over his past two starts, pushing his season ERA to 6.69.

Falls to 0-5 Lyles (0-5) allowed seven runs on seven hits and four walks over four innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Minnesota.

Impact Things got off to a poor start when Max Kepler took Lyles deep in the first inning. Most of the damage came in the fourth inning, headlined by Jorge Polanco's three-run shot. Lyles has allowed at least four runs in four of his six starts this year and is now sporting an ugly 6.11 ERA through 35.1 frames. He's expected to face the Orioles at home next week.

Snares fourth loss Lyles (0-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Angels. He struck out five.

Impact Lyles has gotten off to a rough start to the 2023 season, having allowed three or more runs in four of his five starts while allowing seven home runs. Three of those long shots came in the sixth inning of Sunday's game, where Taylor Ward, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani hit consecutive solo home runs to give the Angles a 4-2 lead. However, Lyles had found a rhythm prior to the nightmare sixth inning, having retired 14 of his previous 15 batters before getting shelled. Lyles is slated for another start Friday against Minnesota, a team he held to two runs in 5.1 innings in his first start of the campaign.

Eight solid innings in loss Lyles (0-3) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over eight innings during a 4-0 loss to the Rangers. He struck out three.

Impact Lyles served up a one-out, three-run homer to Josh Jung in the first, but all three runs were unearned due to back-to-back errors to start the game. The lone earned run on Lyles' ledger came in the third via a solo shot from Marcus Semien. Despite the rocky start, Lyles was able to settle down and got through a season-high eight frames against a good Rangers' offense. Through four outings (25.1 innings), Lyles sports a 4.26 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP with a 18:7 K:BB.

Allows four runs in no-decision Lyles did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact The veteran right-hander appeared headed for his third straight loss to open the campaign as Kansas City trailed 4-2 after seven innings, but the offense rallied over the final frames to force a 10th inning. Lyles has a 5.19 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 17.1 innings through his first three starts of the season.

Takes second loss Lyles (0-2) allowed five earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out nine across 5.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Lyles was hit hard throughout the start, as he served up two home runs and five total extra-base hits while allowing the Blue Jays to score at least one run in four of the six innings he pitched. Positive, Lyles racked up nine strikeouts, which matched his highest total since 2019. Through two starts in the current campaign, he has a 4.91 ERA but a more impressive 11:2 K:BB across 11 frames.

Allows one earned in loss Lyles allowed one earned run over 5.1 innings in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

Impact Lyles also allowed an unearned run while scattering five hits with two walks and two strikeouts. It was far from a dominant effort for the right-hander, but he was able to get out of the jams he created and pitched well enough to win if he would have received some run support. The Royals provided none. The right-hander will be back on the mound Thursday for a tough matchup against the Blue Jays in Kansas City.

Settling in with new team Lyles allowed two hits and struck out two over three innings in Friday's Cactus League game versus the Padres.

Impact Lyles has struck out six over eight innings this spring while allowing two earned runs, six hits and a walk. The right-hander was an effective innings-eater with the Orioles in 2022, posting a 4.42 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 144:52 K:BB across 179 innings. He should be a lock for the Royals' rotation after signing a two-year deal in December, though his ratios will likely continue to be just okay across the board.

AP source: Royals, RHP Lyles agree on 2-year, $17M deal

The Kansas City Royals and well-traveled right-hander Jordan Lyles have agreed to a $17 million, two-year contract

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • Associated Press

Signs two-year deal with Royals Lyles signed a two-year, $17 million deal with the Royals on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lyles will be getting pretty good money for a 32-year-old with a 5.10 career ERA. His 4.42 ERA last season for the Orioles beat his career mark by a significant margin but still wasn't particularly strong, especially in a year in which offense dropped across the league. Lyles' 18.6 percent strikeout rate in 2022 was in line with his 17.6 percent career figure, so don't expect him to become a different pitcher any time soon. He should at least be able to eat a healthy amount of innings for the Royals, as his 62 starts over the past two seasons tie him for 13th in the league. Toss in his pitcher-friendly home park and relatively weak division and Lyles becomes a viable end-game option in deeper formats despite his rather bland numbers.
